It looks about the same volume as the Sozo crowd.

I have one friend who is Z.

Her family is Persian obviously.

They believe that Islam came from Z and that the Mo-Akmed story is all a myth.

You might have a point. My brother bought a Mazda --- and now he's a Christian.

I thought Zoroastrianism was the chaplain's religion in Catch22.

It is highly doubtful. The philosophy of Christianity and Zoroastrianism are quite different.

Zoroastrian cuisine is ELEGANT. ----and similar to kosher but pork is ok. Muslim Iranians I have
known DESPISE "arab food"------"arab language"-----"arab """ART""" " and "arab music"----
and arabs, in general. It seems that they like Zoroastrian culture LOTS and kinda claim
it in a perverse way. The world would be a better place of Iranians REVERTED to
Zoroastrianism.

What can you say about her? Do she have some habits and practices related to this religion which seem strange or unusual for us?

Zoroastrians are persecuted in Iran------HATED. Iranian muslims I have known,
cite aspects of Zoroastrian culture as if it is THEIR OWN MUSLIM STUFF.
They do not offer attribution------kinda like THE AYATOILETS invented it.
As to the persecution of Zoroastrians past and present----like it does not and
never existed

It was a poke.

Sumerians too.

I read what i read rosie. It is what it is.
Obviously details are different but the themes are all the same. It would be like an author changing words up from a previous publication.
The stories are extremely similar. You know that.

Long time since I studied it. It isn't 'monotheistic' as some claim, and little of it is really similar to 'Christianity', that's also a fake claim, it's very intellectually unsophisticated stuff in comparison with Jewish theology, but still an improvement over paganism, even with its obsession with demonology, with its advance from human sacrifice to animal sacrifice. It appears after Judaism and some others, not before, and its 'creed' is more than a little infantile.It doesn't have anything to recommend it over Christianity, but then no others do, either. As Hegel said, Christianity is the highest intellectual evolution of theology, logic, and philosophy, bar none.

AVESTA: YASNA: (English)

As for 'influence on Islam', Islam isn't a religion, so that claim is just silly. Islam has no theology of its own, just a claim that some illiterate mentally retarded homicidal desert bandit had some 'visions', most of which was later eaten by his family goat. Please, just stop with the ridiculous assertions already; nothing in 'Islam' is original theology, all of it came from surrounding cults.

One of the more hilarious illogical claims is that because some historical claim in the OT might resemble some other culture's historical beliefs, it was 'stolen' or something and therefore the OT is ' all lies n stuff', as if in order to be 'true' they have to have entirely different historical claims or something, which is just weird 'logic'; the same for moral precepts and other comparisons, as if there is some requirement they all have to be completely different and not universal experiences and concepts.

Cuz, like, nobody else is supposed to have had floods or saw comets n stuff , and cuz somebody else besides Jews experienced those and wrote about it that means they faked it all and 'stole' the stories .... lol what a hoot.

And, in any case, many of those myths alleged to have been invented before the OT turn out to be later revised myths and in fact influenced by the OT and Christian beliefs by later writers, and that includes Egyptian myths.
